| Sumario: | Background of the Study: Lateral epicondylitis is one of the most common musculoskeletal condition occurring due to repetitive movements. Active release technique and myofascial release technique is used to reduce pain, improve grip strength and functional performance in subjects with lateral epicondylitis . Methods: Patients in Group A received Active Release Technique (ART) along with ultrasound. Patients in Group B received Myofascial Release Technique (MFR) along with ultrasound. For a treatment period of about 30- 40min in each session for regular period of 2 to 3 for a week Outcome Measures : Visual analogue scale, hand dynamometer, Patient rated tennis elbow evaluation score Results : Myofascial Release Technique was slightly more effective in improving grip strength, reducing pain & disability when compared to Active Release Technique Conclusion: Active Release Technique and Myofascial Release Technique both along with ultrasound are effective in patients with Lateral Epicondylitis. Myofascial Release Technique demonstrated slight better outcomes than Active Release Technique in the management of Chronic Lateral Epicondylitis.
